Format:DVD
this is a really great film, a good addition to any movie library!
I've watched it several times and each time I notice new small details. A really well considered, quality and timeless film. It hasn't aged at all and the switch between colour & black & white is really affective.
The only downside is that my disc didnt offer subtitles, so unless you speak French you have to rely on the context to understand whats going on - that said, it's pretty clear and the dance scenes need no explanation!
totally enjoyable and suitable for everyone.

Format:VHS Tape
This film is definately worth watching. It has a wonderful mood, great energy and intensity. It is a clever chronicle of a woman filmaker's process of creating. It is also a stylish love story, brimming with creativity. The dance sequences are breath taking and the music is top quality; together they highlight all the power struggles and antagonisms expressed within the script. This is a multilayered, moody and intelligent film which takes you on board a journey you never, ever want to leave...enjoy!

What a marvellous film. Sally Potter captures the vitality, eroticism and sensuality of the tango so vividly in her film 'The Tango Lesson.'I liked the way Sally Potter portrayed her own love affair and fascination with the tango by starring in the film herself. You could feel her being changed as a person by the passion and electricity of this dance throughout the film and therefore see the magical effect that dance in any form can have upon the individual.
The romantic nature of the tango was depicted quite well with Sally falling in love with her tutor Pablo(Internationally acclaimed tango dancer Pablo Veron). I felt so estatic and alive when I watched the scene where Sally and Pablo were dancing the tango by the riverside in Paris on a winter's evening and it snowed shortly afterwards. It was one of those moments in film that are so special it lives on in your memory forever. I love the tango and Sally Potter's film is a wonderful tribute to this spectacular dance. For anyone who wants to see a good dance film about the tango I highly recommend this film.

A Sight to Behold
I saw this years ago and bought it recently. It's a joy to watch the exhibition of dancing - it's a crap story, but Tango lovers won't care about that. Read more
